Words

Written by Si Atherley

A song of betrayal and cruelty

If I tell you all there is

And if I tell you where I go

As I lie awake at night

I try to figure wrong from right

 

If I tell you all there is

And if I tell you that from this

Would you see me just the same

Or would you shoot me down again?

 

My words, they die like birds

In your dark and angry sky

My truth, you shoot it down

Then you burn it with a lie

 

But did you really think

You could leave me on the ground?

Did you really think

I would die without a sound?
